🧵While you are forced to pay taxes on every dollar earned under the threat of an audit, IRS agents have been living by a different set of rules and stockpiling weapons for unknown reasons.
 
I am holding these tax collectors accountable and auditing the auditors!👇 An audit I requested revealed that more than 5,800 IRS and contractor employees owed nearly $50 million in overdue taxes.
 
In November 2024, the IRS admitted that 2,044 employees still had tax balances totaling more than $12 million.

🧵In just one year, federal employees spent 2.6 million hours (296 years) negotiating higher salaries, cushy perks, and remote work for themselves when they were on the clock.
 
It cost taxpayers $160 million. Then Biden hid the cost.

I am putting a stop to this nonsense.👇 Transparency is the first step in ending the insane practice of taxpayer-funded union time.
 
Biden kept taxpayers in the dark, telling agencies to stop sharing the data and costs.

🧵What’s the Senate DOGE Caucus been up to?

Working alongside @DOGE to root out waste, fraud, and abuse and ensure government is working for Americans!

We have hit the ground running 👇 Flag on the play!

🏈 @SenatorLankford is playing ref and calling out the federal government’s fumbles!

🧵From funneling tax dollars to risky research in Wuhan to sending Ukrainians to Paris Fashion Week, USAID is one of the worst offenders of waste in Washington… all around the world. 🌎

This is why @POTUS, @DOGE, and @elonmusk are ending the nonsense. 👇 Despite the fact that Moroccans have been making pottery for thousands of years, USAID spent more than $2 million for Moroccan pottery classes and promotion.

The idea clearly wasn't fully formed, because the translator they hired didn't even speak English.

🧵Washington's end of year use-it-or-lose-it approach encourages waste by binge-buying bureaucrats.

In Sept 2024, the Pentagon went on its largest spending spree since 2008 (reminder: in ‘08 America was fighting 2 wars).

What did they spend tax dollars on?

Glad you asked.👇 Who needs a 5-star restaurant when you can dine at Bistro Le Taxpayer @DeptofDefense.

In September alone, it spent $6.1 million on lobster tail, $16.6 million on ribeye steak, $6.4 million on salmon, and $407,000 on Alaskan king crab!

🧵After nearly two years of investigating telework abuse, I unveiled my report showing how broken the bureaucracy in DC is.

Here is my plan to work with @elonmusk, @VivekGRamaswamy, and the Trump admin to get the federal workforce working for the people and save tax dollars.👇 First, just how prevalent is telework in Washington?

❗️90% of bureaucrats telework
❗️6% of bureaucrats show up 5 days a week
❗️Nearly 33% of employees are entirely remote
 
Why is this a problem?

🧵We can eliminate more than $2 trillion of waste in Washington in 22 easy steps.
 
Here is how @elonmusk, @VivekGRamaswamy, and @DOGE can begin to trim the fat and #makeemsqueal. 👇 1. Ghost Workers 👻
 
We are spending $15.7 billion a year on underutilized buildings.

Many are vacant!

Bureaucrats refuse to show up to work, so why are we paying for empty buildings?

🧵😸Happy Caturday!
 
What is Caturday?

A pawesome time to examine how, just like cats, waste in Washington has nine lives.

Here are nine examples of wasteful spending by the federal government studying our feline friends that are purrfect for @DOGE to cut. Starting off we have the $6.8 million question:
 
What food, toys, scents, and humans do cats enjoy the most?

Good news: they like tuna, catnip, playing with humans, and moving toys.

Bad news: we aren't within a whisker of all the waste.

🚨The spirit of 1776 is still alive and well with a tax revolt happening right now at the most unlikely of places in Washington, the IRS.

My audit of the IRS reveals more than 5,800 IRS and contractor employees owe nearly $50 million in overdue taxes.

And it only gets worse... While the IRS warns tax evasion is a serious crime punishable by imprisonment, fines, and civil penalties, and even though the IRS has the authority to fire these tax cheats - just 20 of the 5,800 IRS tax evaders were fired.
